Rachel Storer, winner of the inaugural Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) Brian White Scholarship has scored a full-time job with the Hit Network.
 

Survey 5 wasn't a bad one for SCA with Triple M remaining rock steady, while for the Hit Network in Perth, HIT 92.9 enjoyed a solid gain of 0.7 and there was an encouraging 0.2 uptick for 2Day in Sydney with 0.3’s worth of green shots for Em Rusciano and Harley Breen’s breakfast show.

Ten episodes of PodcastOne's original True Crime series The Trials of the Vampire created with journalist and writer, Adam Shand. are available exclusively on PodcastOne.com.au and the PodcastOne app.

The Trials of The Vampire podcast delves into a complex and intriguing Melbourne case where a male prostitute is accused of raping and mutilating a client.  Few doubt his guilt and to complete the lurid picture, she says her attacker boasted that he was a 200 year old vampire

"We've had a strong year," CEO Grant Blackley has told radioinfo.
